I disagree about Loazia being BAD...
He isn't anywhere near as good as in 2003 but their have been been plenty of #2,#3 pitchers in the league who would love to trade places with him over the year he's having this year.
It's come down to him having one bad inning and getting into trouble. At least most of the time he keeps us in the game and at least gives us a shot to win.
My grades:
SP- B+, All been solid except for a few bad starts here and there.
RP- B, Solid except for Jackson and Cotts (Post Twins Incident)
Offense- B-, Solid but still not firing on all cylinders, I expect better in the second half.
Defense- A, Aside from a new errors alot better then anyone would of expected.
Manager- C+, I know i'll get flack for this here but I'm still waiting for Ozzie to prove that he is going to be a manager to learn from his mistakes and not continue to make the same dumb moves over and over.
The perfect example was Ross Gload in RF, it didn't work the first time thats understandable. It didn't work the second time, start to see a pattern developing. There was no excuse for him to have THREE starts out there.
I just hope that Ozzie figures out what he's done wrong and not continue to do it (Causing fans like myself to pull our hair out).
All in all i'm impressed and I like our chances of not only taking the division but taking it all.
